District Updates - Week #1

The Lady Vikings Soccer Team is 3 games into the season and hold a mark of 3-0-0. The first game was against Faith Christian, who is new to the district. The Lady Vikings got on the board early in the first 5 miuntes on goal by Sarah Williamson, the first of 3 on the night. Emily Grider and Presley Smith also had multiple goal nights each adding 2. Mallory Baum, Morgan Ulliman, and Annie Smithey each added 1 a piece to bring the Lady Viking goal total for the night to 10. Smith and Smithey each scored their 1st career goals. Two days after the Lady Vikings played host to Bishop Dunne and again scored early and kept the foot on the gas the entire first half as they stormed out to a 5-0 halftime lead on 2 goals from Morgan Ulliman and 1 each for Chelsea Heimann and Mallory Baum. Haley Spotts scored her first career high school goal and Kaytee O'Brien scored her first goal as a Lady Viking. O'Brien is a junior, transfer from Colleyville Heritage High School. Bishop Lynch came to town on Monday night but the match was postponed due to strong storms that blew through at gametime - that match has been rescheduled for Monday, November 24th. So game #3 for the Lady Vikings saw a rematch of last years State Championship - the Lady Bears came to Doskocil Stadium on Wednesday night and the lady Vikings were not the best of hosts as Lady Vikings of Nolan Catholic took the first meeting of the 08-09 season from the Bears by a score of 2-1. Maygan Ditucci scored in the 30th minute off a corner and assist by Ulliman. The Bears answered as they always do and evened the match in the 38th minute. The Lady Vikings brushed that off and started right were they started the game, tied, but that didn't last long as the Vikings scored a very nice goal to prove all they needed to remain undefeated on the season. Heimann threw the ball into Emily Grider who spun a defender and slipped a ball into Baum who beat an Ursuline defender, cut insdie across the top of the 18 and from about 25 hit a bomb just under the crossbar to put the Lady Vikings on ahead. Ursuline mounted a feirce attack for the final 15 minutes but Nolan was able to put plenty of numbers behind the ball and with an amazing effort from junior, goalkeeper McKenzie Sauerwein were able to preserve the win. The Lady Vikings are 3-0-0 on the season.
